Like many working mothers, Ada Nicodemou has been able to spend more time at home over the past few weeks due to the COVID-19 lockdown.

While Ada usually takes school summer holidays off to be with her son, she said the last time she had this much quality time with Johnas was a long time ago.
‘The last time it was maternity leave that I was off set,’ she said.
‘It’s been nice having so much time with him, the great conversations and the laughs and an endless supply of cuddles, it’s been really nice.’
